HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY RYAN!

Today we celebrated Ryan's 5th birthday. We had a joint party with his friend from Pre-K Brooke who turns 5 on August 4th. Ryan loves to be in the kitchen and pretends to cook all the time so we decided on the Young Chef's Academy with a Pizza Party theme. The kids each made their own pizza from scratch. It was so fun to watch them making the dough and following the directions intently.

Our Pizza Cake made by good friend Susan was YUMMMMYYY!!!

Check out my cake... when can we dig in?

I love my Dad!
